ALAS Appoints a New Executive Director
 The Latin American Security Association (ALAS) has announced
the selection of Frans Kemper as its new executive director.
The appointment is effective immediately. In his new
position, Kemper will report directly to the ALAS Board
of Directors. Born and raised in Holland, Kemper studied
business and marketing, and brings to ALAS a high level
of management experience. Beginning in 1996, Kemper held
management positions in the Latin American market with
Philips and was responsible for the development of the
Latin American CCTV market. From 2003 to 2007, Kemper
was director of sales and marketing for Latin America
for Bosch Security Systems.
Andrea
Ferrando, director of public relations for ALAS and
a member of the association’s
board of directors, said, “ALAS is
proud to have an executive director with Frans’ level of experience
as part of our team. The addition of Frans is one of
the steps the Board of Directors is taking to achieve
the goals of our strategic plan. Our industry is constantly
changing and we are sure that Frans will bring an excellence
that will establish ALAS as the association
leader in Latin America.”
“The security industry has a responsibility for
the safety and security of people and their possessions.
There is a great need in Latin America to have solid and
reliable systems of electronic security installed in homes
and businesses,” said Kemper. “However, we
can only meet this responsibility with a clear working
knowledge of the products. My appointment as the new executive
director allows me the opportunity to position ALAS as
the standard of professional education in Latin America. “This
is only the beginning,” added Kemper. “ALAS will have several surprise successes in the years to come.” Franz
Kemper can be contacted by email at frans.kemper@alas-la.org

Congratulations
letter – ALAS courses
 Good
Morning Mr. Guzmán:
I would like to express my gratitude for the Access control course
recently held in Panama City. It was very useful for me to acquire
further knowledge and I would very much like to take other courses
that ALAS has to offer. The following is very true on a technical
level and I would describe as follows: there are 1.000 ways to
hammer a nail into the wall, very often we know of 999 but only
one way is the correct way…this is what I learned by taking
this course. Thank you again !!
Your sincerely,
